September 7, 2017 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal reposted from MR Online — Amidst imperialist interference, the people in
Venezuela are carrying on the task of reorganizing their society.
Real-life picture in Venezuela is far different from new-reports the

Christina Schiavoni, a researcher and food sovereignty activist,

the politics. The interview was conducted by Farooque Chowdhury and Fred
Magdoff, in August 2017.
